Balearic Islands Sights

  1. Coves d'Artà

    On the coast 10km southeast of the quiet, ochre inland town of Artà are the Coves d'Artà - rivalling Porto Cristo's Coves del Drac. Tours of the caves leave every 30 minutes.

  2. Coves d'en Xeroni

    Beside the main road just east of Sant Ferran are the Coves d'en Xeroni, an unexceptional series of underground caves with stalactites and all. Treat opening times with a large grain of salt.

  3. Coves del Drac

    The Coves del Drac (Dragon's Caves) are on the southern outskirts of Porto Cristo. One-hour tours are held hourly, the 'highlight' being the classical music played by boat-bound musicians floating across a large subterranean lake.

  4. Illa s'Espalmador

    A 4km walking trail leads from the La Savina-Es Pujols road to the end of the narrow promontory stretching north towards Ibiza. From here you can wade across a narrow strait to Illa s'Espalmador, a tiny uninhabited islet with beautiful, quiet beaches and mud baths. The promontory itself is largely undeveloped. Be careful when wading out - you can easily be caught by incoming tides. Or better, take the Barca Bahia boat from La Savina ferry port.
